KEYENCE MC 3E Binary master
KEYENCE MC compatible with 3E binary address read and write driver
Open the plugin
Enter “Development Configuration → Collection Configuration”, create a device and select “KeyenceMcBinaryMaster” in “Collection Plugin”.
Supported channels and data types
| Channel type | Pre-configuration check |
|---|---|
| Serial Port | Confirm that the serial port is not occupied by other programs and maintains the same baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity bits as the device. |
| TCP Client | Confirm network reachability of the device IP, port, and gateway to the device. |
| TCP server | Confirm that the local listening address and port are available, and allow on-site devices to actively connect to the gateway. |
| UDP | Confirm the local binding address, port and firewall rules, and check the source of the packet. |
Optional data types: Boolean, Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Float, Double, String, Decimal
This list describes types allowed by the plugin editor. Address width, arrays, string length and read/write restrictions still follow this page; it does not mean that every address supports every type.
Plugin properties
Protocol parameters
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Network number | Default: 0; fill in: text input. Network number; the network number used by MC 3E routing |
| Module station number | Default: 0; fill in: text input. Module station number; target module station number |
| Module IO number | Default: 1023; fill in: text input. Module IO number; target module IO number, default 0x03FF |
| PLC number | Default: 255; fill in: text input. PLC number; target PLC number, default 0xFF |
Address rules
| Area | Numbering and unit | Address example |
|---|---|---|
X / Y / B | Bits, hexadecimal numbers | X10 |
M / L / SM / TS / TC / CS / CC | Bits, decimal numbers | M100 |
SD / D / R / TN / CN | WORD, decimal numbers | D100 |
ZR / W | WORD, hexadecimal numbers | W10 |
Boolean access inside a WORD requires an explicit .0–.15 suffix. These are this driver’s areas rather than all Mitsubishi aliases.
Device debug
Enter “Development Configuration → Collection Configuration”, select the current device then open “Protocol Debug” at the top of the workspace.
Functions
| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Read and write | Read a confirmed point and write only to an approved test point. |
| Messages | View sent and received frames, protocol fields, and error details. |
Verify the configuration
Monitor D100 online in the PLC engineering tool, compare its value with the gateway variable and confirm advancing sample times.
Troubleshooting
- Match ASCII/Binary to the port mode. X/Y/B are hexadecimal, D decimal; WORD bit access requires .0–.15.
- The serial port device does not respond: Confirm that the serial port is not occupied, and check the baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity bits.
